So today at the clinic I had to wait 20 minutes before I could dose because they had to do a bottle change. Anyways every Thursday are when new patients come in and try to get into the clinic. So I was talking with this girl she was about my age and we were just talking about the clinic what methadone is like than got into our addictions and DOC and what not. So I told her my story and she than began to tell me about hers and when she brought up her DOC she told me she got into a car accident when she was younger and got a neck injury and for the past 5 years she has been on 4 7.5 hydrocodones a day for the whole time since her accident. And was telling me she can’t get off the pain pills no matter what she tries and was hoping maybe methadone would work. I don’t know what the DR will say but I really hope for her sake he says no. I don’t ever want someone to be addicted to opiates but in my eyes she would just be taking a step up in opiates and making a small addiction into something much worst I mean she is stepping into the belly of beast with this switch if she is accepted into the clinic.
And I just wonder what you think? Wouldn’t switching to methadone from 28mgs of hydrocodone make things much worst for her than help her? I mean I wanted to tell her try suboxone first but she was so happy to be at the clinic because she has been waiting for 6 months on the waiting list. and i didnt want to ruin her natural high of the thought of finally gettig clean after several failed attempts. But the meth DR like i said before also runs his own Suboxone practice so maybe she might just luck out and not start methadone for such a small addiction.
